"SEND OUT EVERY GUNSHIP AND EVERY SOLDIER UNDER MY COMMAND! I WANT MY DAUGHTER IN MY HOUSE THIS INSTANCE!" Blizzard screamed at the top of his lungs, mobilizing his troops, and even reaching for his family's sword.
"Sir. If I may offer a different course of action?" the Butler stopped the aging aristocrat from touching his sword.
Blizzard turned to the butler that served his family for decades, one of the few men that could reel in his icy fury, "You may."
Glynda Goodwitch stared down Weiss, Blake, and Yang, the irritation outright seeping through her skin, "I don't know what you girls were doing, but that door," she gestured the broken pieces of the door, "That door was made of Oak! We aren't made of doors!" she exasperated.
"Don't you just reassemble the wood with your magic?" Yang asked, and almost immediately receiving death glares from the other women in the room.
"IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF IT!" Glynda screeched before reassembling the door with her magic, "I want to see all of you after class tomorrow."
The middle-aged teacher walked out of team RWBY's dorm, leaving the three bitter women to themselves, "So I wonder who's to blame for breaking down our door," Weiss glared at the blonde.
"At least I'm not the one who has sex behind my partner's back!" Yang barked back.
"Can we please stop fighting?!" Blake glared at both of them, "Yang, we just had sex. That was it!"
Yang stepped up, and looked down the heiress and faunus, "Oh that's it?! Did it not matter that I wasn't there! This is supposed to be all four of us!"
Weiss grabbed Blake's hand, "We don't need you telling us how to do our relationship," the heiress turned to the black-haired woman, "Blake, let's go."
"Weiss?" Blake and Yang spoke in unison.
"Do you want to stay here, Blake?" Weiss held her hand tighter, "Or do you want to leave with me?"
Her golden eyes met with Weiss' light blue eyes, "Let's go."
The two walked past Yang Xiao Long, almost at the door, "So is that it? Is that the end of us?" her stern voice sounding like gunshots with every syllable.
Blake looked down at Weiss, not moving an inch to face their partner. She turned around and faced the first person she started trusting at Beacon Academy, "After this weekend. If you've cooled off, then we can decide on something."
Once that door was closed, the impact of their actions finally set in on them.
Blake's ear flickering in her face was what started the day for Ruby. Her sister's large bosom pressed against her back, and Weiss' cold hands wrapped around her head. Just like any other day. Ruby woke up expecting the day to end like every other, not like how it ended just then.
That image. Yang and Blake against each other, aiming their weapons. It rocked her to her core.
A sky painted orange by the descending sun, Ruby's black hair stood out against it. But the tears streaming down her face mixed with her pale face.
"A rough day, I'd wager?" Ruby turned back, and nearly fell off the school roof.
"P-PROFESSOR OZPIN!" Ruby exclaimed.
Ruby looked at the coffee mug handed to her by her teacher, "Something going on at home?" he sat on the edge, his head still towering over Ruby, "Something I probably shouldn't involve myself in as a teacher?"
Ruby forced out a small laugh while she sipped her coffee, rejecting it once the bitter, black liquid touched her tongue, "Definitely something you shouldn't involve yourself in as a teacher," she looked down at her drink, "It's just. Girl problems. Professor, are you sure I'm really leadership material?"
Ozpin looked to Ruby and quietly laughed to himself, "I told you before, Ruby. I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, or child. But I don't consider assigning you as Team RWBY's leader to be one of them," Ozpin glanced down at the campus grounds below.
"Then why is this happening?! When I'm gone only once, they fall apart!"
Ozpin and Ruby sighed together, "I understand how you feel. As a leader, you're expected to always be there for your teammates. Never fail, always be vigilant," he ran his hand through his hair, "I'm in the middle of my forties, and my hair is already gray."
"Oh god, my hair!" Ruby shrieked, feeling her hair to protect it, "How do you deal with that?!"
Ozpin looked up at the shattered pieces of the moon, rising over the sky, "You learn to become stronger and to look out for the people who look to you for leadership."
Ruby fell back onto the roof, "So there's no slacking on this, is there?!"
Ozpin laughed softly, "Afraid not," Ruby cried to herself while Ozpin sipped his coffee, "Not to damper on this situation any further, but even if you wanted my help, I'm clueless in lady troubles."
As night fell, Jaune and Pyrrha were busy studying over the many book assignments they received from their teacher while Nora ate more midnight snack pancakes that Ren prepared for her.
Jaune was about to give a correct answer to a rather tough question Pyrrha had brought up, but unfortunately a knock on their door broke his concentration, and his spirit too probably. He gets better.
Ren opened the door, "Ruby, what are you doing here so late?"
Ruby was standing in the doorway, her index fingers poking each other's tips, "So. You probably heard about the drama that's been going on in my dorm?" Ruby looked for their reactions, "And. I was wondering if you would let me sleep with you guys tonight?"
Ren remained skeptical, while Nora seemed ready to jump for joy that she was going to be sleeping in. Jaune rubbed the back of his head before choosing to make the decision for his team.
"You can stay the night, but tomorrow you have to tell us what you were going to say when we were on the roof," Jaune offered her, "Does that sound good to you?"
"Yeah. Thanks, I just need to be out of that dorm for tonight," Ruby replied solemnly.
"That bad, huh?" Ren asked.
"Yeah,"
As they shut the door, Yang on the inside of RWBY's dorm, was on her knees, head against the door, "Why do I have to be so stupid?"
Weiss and Blake wandered the streets of Vale, looking for another hotel they could stay at, "Blake."
The faunus stopped and looked down at the heiress, "What is it, Weiss?"
"Do you think, we were wrong?" Weiss shook her head, "Or do you think I was wrong?"
Blake, "You aren't going to like hearing this but you could have not butt heads with Yang."
She couldn't help but smile when she saw Weiss' face turn a shade of red, "I really hate it when you're right."
Blake kissed Weiss on her head, hugging her close, "So what should we do?"
Weiss looked down at the sidewalk, "I don't want to spend tonight with Yang. Not after what happened today," she hugged Blake.
Blake nodded and walked with the white-haired girl, "Are you finding any hotels you like?"
Weiss stopped and blushed at the faunus, "I, just wanted to walk with you."
Ruby woke up early in the morning, Pyrrha's towering frame having kept her warm for the entire night. She yawned and looked at the sleeping faces of team JNPR. She slowly got out of bed, stretching her arms and scratching her butt, not caring if anyone saw her.
"Crud!" she whispered, "I forgot my toothbrush!" Ruby Rose was content in borrowing her friends' sundries and wearing clothes she wore the day before, but using someone else's toothbrush? That idea was too foreign for her.
She walked out of JNPR's dorm slowly and across the hall to her dorm. She opened the door and saw Yang standing in the doorway.
"Uh. Hi," Yang slowly and awkwardly greeted her sister.
"Hey," Ruby replied, avoiding direct eye contact, "I, left my toothbrush here."
"Oh." Yang opened the door all the way, "You can come in."
Ruby walked past her sister towards their bathroom, "How did you sleep?" she heard her call to her.
"I slept alright. Pyrrha was like a rock next to me," Ruby admitted, "How about you?" she grabbed her toothbrush and turned, looking at her sister, squeezing her left arm.
"I didn't sleep last night. I was, too busy thinking," she remarked.
The sisters looked at each other and sighed, "Yesterday wasn't a really good day for either of us."
The older sister snorted, "It's never a good day when you see your girlfriends pointing guns at each other," she squeezed her arm tighter, "I. I flew off the handle."
An awkward silence fell on them, "Yeah. You kinda did," she muttered, "Yang. Ignoring that we're in this weird relationship with each other, we're a team. No matter how peeved off we get at each other, we don't get out our guns."
Yang nodded to her sister's words, before a grin came before her face, "Except, these guns!" Yang started flexing for her sister.
Ruby covered her mouth from laughing, "Oh my god, Yang! Puns! Now!?" she exclaimed through the laughter.
Team JNPR heard the laughter and collectively groaned, "We're getting that damn answer," Ren remarked.
The two sisters hugged each other, Yang planting small kisses on Ruby's head, "So are we good?"
Ruby pushed herself away from Yang, trying to avoid all of her kisses, "We're good if you let me go!" she begged, but she could not escape the strength of Yang Xiao Long.
Before they could discuss how they were going to get Weiss and Blake back, suddenly Weiss came through the door, breathing heavier than usual.
"Weiss. You, came back!" Ruby exclaimed, "This was, sooner than expected."
Weiss looked at Ruby and then to Yang, "Princess. I," she stopped herself, "Honestly, I'm still mad at you and Blake. But, we're-
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!" Ruby and Yang focused everything on Weiss, "Yang, I don't care if you hate me for the rest of your life," it was already obvious to Ruby and Yang that Weiss was fighting against her tears, "But. I couldn't live with myself if Blake died for me!" she cried through her words.
For one moment, everything was fine. And once it was over, the worse had come to Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long.
"Weiss. Tell me. What happened?" Yang asked.
Weiss looked up at Yang finally, her eyes turning red from the tears, "My father," she muttered, "My father took Blake."
"Sarah, did you see this creepy old guy ogling us?" an attractive woman in her twenties asked.
Another attractive woman in her early twenties while changing, replied to her coworker, "He seemed a little too... into us when we wearing those miniskirts. Hey I'm gonna go grab a drink... want anything?"
"Uh yeah, get me-
*It's time to heat it up it's time to light the fire! It's my time to pump it up and I want to take you higher*
The two waitresses opened a rack of clothes, seeing an old man with his scroll out, its ringtone still blasting.
"Uh, can I take this?" the old man asked.
He answered the scroll while still awkwardly staring at the two waitresses, "Qrow Branwen. If I owe you money then," he stopped himself and looked at the two waitresses he was peeping on, "It's my nieces. Hey how are you," he listened to what Yang was telling him on the phone, "Oh. So, what you're telling me is, Blizzard hired some goons to kidnap your girlfriend," he nodded, pulling his flask to drink, "And, you need me. Oh," Qrow looked into his flask, disappointed he drank everything in it, "Well I'm in some bar on the outskirts of Vale and," he continued listening, "And you're already in Vale ready to move out."
Qrow drunkenly stood up while holding his scroll, "Yeah I'll be there," he looked at the two waitresses, ready to kick him in the nads, "So, I know you two are mad at me, but I have two nieces who-
"When you're done, you're coming back here so we can kick you in the balls," Sarah explained.
He snapped his fingers at the two, "That's why I love you guys!"
A/N It may not seem like it, but we're coming in fast to the end of our story. It's also becoming a bit of a hybrid of volume 2 and 3, as a few of the characters from V3 are going to show up.
